"where i need it right now, you know that i can't chill, never could, probably never will."

rory gave a soft smile and nodded her head, "i'm rory. thanks for saving me with the coffee order." she knew it was good to know, because it was hard to consider any coffee being better, or even on par, with luke's, but she had to try and branch out.

" really." perry's nose wrinkles at the memory of the disappointment that had settled after the fact, surmising she'd have to find somewhere else if she was craving something with caramel. not that she craved coffee often enough to be put out by it. " i'm perry, by the way."

"really?" rory asked, making a face at the thought of that. this was probably one of the reasons she stuck to plain coffee. it was hard, but not impossible, to entirely screw that sort of thing up. yet, she'd had her fair share of bad cups. no one made coffee like luke, or even her mom. "mocha it is." she said, laying her menu down.

" i'd go with the mocha over the caramel, this stays between us, but i think the caramel is stale." at least, it had been when she'd confidently took a large sip of an iced caramel latte a few days ago. she'd nearly spent 10 minutes washing her mouth out to forget that taste.

rory nodded, eyes still on the menu as she looked for her own beverage. she was typically a black coffee kind of person. rarely straying from that order. maybe a chai latte if she needed a break. but she was in a new place and maybe she needed a new kind of drink. "i think i might branch out and try something totally new. one of those caramel coffee latte things."

"i think an oatmilk latte. it's different from what i normally have at home." she'd detested the coffee her sister brought her at times, and the ones the coffeeshops nearest to her apartment had boasted about. there was something about the creaminess of the cream that had solidified it as a star for her. " what about you?"

[saltedair]

"yes, but there's so many options." rory said, eyes roving over the menu in front of her. she was certain she might stick with her usual, but with all the choices before her she was slightly overwhelmed with the thought of what she could possibly have. "what are you going to have?"

" it's coffee." perry couldn't help but laugh as she glanced away from the menu lit up above the bustling bar. she already had her heart set on an oatmilk latte, but even she wasn't as serious about her morning beverage.
